I'm not aware of any such plans. But a few months ago, there was some discussion about having support vector machine functionalities in Sage. If you would like to use mlpy [1] from within Sage, you could produce an optional package or a contributed package. A contributed package (otherwise known as an experimental package) is something you produce and maintain yourself. The Sage project take no responsibility in maintaining a contributed package. However, we offer hosting space for your contributed spkg. An optional package needs to pass some minimum requirements in order for it to become an optional package. For example, an optional spkg must be tested and work on most of the operating systems that Sage runs on. The Sage project takes minimum responsibility vis-a-vis maintaining an optional package. That is, we don't do all the work of maintaining an optional package; you need to commit yourself to sharing that task. A reason is that there are many standard packages currently distributed by default with Sage, and the effort required to maintain those standard spkg's is huge. There are not enough human resource and volunteers to maintain the standard packages, so the Sage project needs to prioritize its effort. If you would like to produce and maintain an optional or contributed spkg, we can provide hosting space.
